So everyone else has got it wrong?




If you are in Birmingham in the next week or so, you would be welcome
to listen to my TQWP's. At least it would be a start for you.

Does anyone know of a second hand site where I can put the details
and a picture?
I'd prefer not to use eBay, I think you should listen to speakers
before you buy and I'm not in a hurry.

I sold a few amps on www.hififorsale.com very quick a couple of weeks ago.

Looking through some of the other posts in this group, I think I am doubly
lucky to get an answer to my question, most people don't appear to. Alas
it's one of those prone to baiting hapless posters like myself, and I fell
for it, like a dope :-)

Good luck and thanks.

Dear Martin,

When you grow up you will find that most of the stuff you read in magazines
is crap.

Ouch! Mummy...

Oh, have a question mark: ?

Make a start by listening to the music, eventually you will find your way to
the horn loaded single driver speaker and be able to enjoy the music to the
full.

Maybe in a parallel universe.

Apologies for the 'ouch' :-)
If ever you are in Birmingham, perhaps you would look in and listen to the
Buschhorns, I'll let you know when I've got them working.

Actually, yes, I would be genuinely interested to hear them.
Skeptical, very, but never let it be said that I wouldn't give
them a chance.

Unfortunately, I'm not in Birmingham, and shan't be in the
forseeable future, and anyway, even if I were, I'd be wasting
your time because I can't afford new speakers at the moment!

Actually, I had a dream about buying some new speakers about
2 nights ago! I do kinda want some more. I think some small
Dynaudios, but alas, the money isn't there!

Dear Martin,

Hmmmm well, if you can't make it to B'ham, why not make a pair of Buschhorns
yourself, they are only 160 wide x 350 deep x 990 high. The drivers I'm
going to use, Visaton FR10 8 Ohm are about £7.00 each from CPC
(http://custom1.farnell.com/cpc/) the timber, MDF can be precut at your
local woodyard and will probably cost about £25.00, I'll know exactly
tomorrow and will let you know, on here. The other odds and ends, glue,
solder some varnish or wax polish say another £10 and not only will you have
a pair of speakers with a dynamic range better than anything else you've
ever experienced but some you will be able to tweak yourself.

I would love to be there when you hear them for the first time and see the
smile of appreciation and understanding spread across your face. As it did
across mine at a HiFi exhibition many years ago when I first heard Lowther
horns, in the Lowther room you could browse through the LP's they'd got and
choose one, I had a headache from listening to too many speakers and it went
away as I sat in that room, I was astonished at the clarity and ease of the
sound, I was also fortunate enough to hear a demonstration in St Pauls where
Donald Chave used two Lowther Audiovectors and two 5 Watt Lowther valve amps
and filled the cathedral with sound. I ramble sorry:-)

Well, I suppose you could build the room round the horn...

Must be great to know how something is going to sound before you've even
made them. Are you trying to sell the kits or something?

Or tweak the horn, especially when you have made it yourself, which is one
of the fundamentals of DIY HiFi, the other is that you get "high end" stuff
for peanuts.

Why not make a pair yourself it's not going to cost much and the results
might just be astounding!
